The electronic standard relay ESR10 is a solid state power relay combining two functions in a single unit.
- solid state relay function
- electronic overcurrent protection
The relay has been designed for 4-pole standard automotive relay sockets to ISO 7588. It is suitable for DC12V on-board electrical systems and is rated 50A. Up to now two separate components were connected to one functional unit in a load circuit to allow remote switching and protection of loads:
- an electro-mechanical relay or solid state relay which is powered via the control cable and then closes the circuit by means of the integral contact or power semi-conductor
- an additional protective element (circuit breaker or fuse) Ð providing line or equipment protection in the event of a failure.
By combining two functions in one component the ESR10 helps to minimise the number of plug-in connections in a circuit and thus reduces the risk of a failure. In addition the ESR10 is remotely Ðresettable after overload tripping.
